Decorations

Decorating this flat for Christmas will not be easy. There is simply not enough space to put everything up. Even the Christmas tree will be in question until I have it in the house. What a predicament!

Dekorowanie tego mieszkania na święta nie będzie łatwe. Po prostu nie ma wystarczająco dużo miejsca, aby wszystko postawić. Nawet choinka będzie pod znakiem zapytania, dopóki nie będę miała jej w domu. Co za kłopot!

Decorar este piso para la Navidad no será fácil. Sencillamente, no hay espacio suficiente para colocarlo todo. Incluso el árbol de Navidad estará en duda hasta que lo tenga en casa. ¡Menudo aprieto!

Hi David and Joan,

It was my comment earlier re: Xmas tree hanging from ceiling idea (forgot to sign it) Looking further, I found the custom (which has recently been trending��...read on):

Interesting tradition, huh?!
And, you'll miss a tree (besides, Cheistmas comes once a year-- and we need all the hope & cheer we can create, after this hellish year��):

But, if an upside down tree seems too weird for you, you can STILL hang it UPRIGHT (I don't think the xmas police will raid your apt)!
And, as mentioned already, a SMAll one e can still be pretty. But if you'd be concerned about a real tree drying out too fast w/o watering, am sure you'd find plenty of small artificial trees in stores there.
And if it works out, you can clear out another box w. your big tree (or if you have a lobby, ask your landlord and set the big one up there-- maybe start a new tradition w.the other tenants pitching in to decorate--kids would be a plus; and, didn't you used to dress up as Santa Claus???)!
Soooo..."no room at the inn" is unacceptable...you MUST have a tree...no worries...there ARE others solutions if this doesn't grab your fancy; even a tinier countertop tree to put on a table would work (they sell live ones that small I'm sure you've seen before, across the Pond here).
Let's see a photo of what you come up with, David!!
